Baton Rouge AR11C/ACE Auditorium Cutaway Guitar
Description
Baton Rouge AR11C/ACE Auditorium Cutaway Guitar
The AR11C/ACE sits comfortably in your hands with a balanced, responsive feel across a compact auditorium body. The cutaway design unlocks the upper frets for lead work and melodic runs, while the 650mm scale length and 43mm nut width keep finger stretch manageable without sacrificing spacing. Play it seated or standing—this guitar handles both with equal ease. Solid Canadian cedar paired with mahogany back and sides delivers warm, articulate tone with natural sustain and projection that cuts through a mix.
Tone & Construction
The solid cedar top resonates with clarity and depth, while the mahogany back and sides contribute warmth and midrange presence typical of this wood pairing. Built with Baton Rouge BR-2P pickup electronics, the guitar transitions seamlessly from acoustic to amplified settings without tonal compromise.
Playability & Hardware
20 frets of Ovangkol fingerboard offer a smooth, responsive playing surface under the fingers, and the Nubone nut and saddle ensure reliable intonation and sustain gig after gig. Diecast matt chrome machine heads with black buttons lock in tuning stability so you can trust the instrument under stage lights. Elixir strings come factory-installed, providing bright, long-lasting tone right out of the case.
